Left extremist group assumes responsibility for sabotage of Germany's railway line

The anarchist group called “Commando Angri Birds” said it stands behind the attack, during which explosive devices have been placed in cable channels near the bridge over the Wupper River, north of the town of Leverkusen.

As a result of the fire caused by the blasts, railway signal cables have been damaged, forcing authorities to temporarily close a section of the line for performing repairs, reports media.

“Commando Anne Birds” has earlier claimed responsibility for further attacks on infrastructure facilities in Germany.

The group describes itself as an anti-industrial and anti-technology movement, which claims it targets “the collapse of the technical-industrial system” for reasons related to environmental protection.

German authorities consider such acts a threat to the country's critical infrastructure and have launched investigations into identifying responsible persons. /Periscope/
